Oh Jack! lol talk about taking lemons and making lemonade!!

Hi Jude, just wanted to say that I know how stressful caring for a parent can be. Please pat yourself on the back for the great job your doing!

Hey Maria is your hubby from the auld sod too?

i have wide feet too, i usually end up at payless, cuz they have a pretty good selection of wide shoes, even tho the quality isn't great. p.s. i HATE sensible shoes!

Welcome green! I've been away and just now had the chance to welcome you! what with surgery and trying to kill my hubby and all....

Thanks for reading thru such a long post everyone! maria, my family has the luck of the irish...all bad! even my half italian kids! ya argon, he seemed kinda like that!?! i dont care tho, im in band land with you guys now, nothing can get me down! lila, isnt that just typical husband behaviour? and no, i havent had any luck collecting whatsoever! green, your welcome! hi wheezy, i have heard others rave about him too. maybe i just caught him on an off day. He wasnt rude or nasty, just a little put out yoda, tell your man the pam didn't work anyhow, but if i come up with something more effective, i'll pass the info on!

btw cloe, did you ever post those baby lamb pics?

What about meeeee, its supposed to be all about mmmeeeeee, dammit!

Hi Swanny, i was banded aug 31st, and i got really nervous at the end too! Everything will be fine, honest. as for cravings, i was the same way, and its so weird that now i'm banded for the FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE i could care less about food! REALLY! so hang in there kiddo, you won't regret a thing!:kiss2:

oh he's fine now, except for telling everyone over and over again that i tried to off him twice. yeah Dr. mumford was kinda like "well you should have told me" but i honestly had no idea! oh well, i got my band and that's all i care about!

well, here goes... surgery went great. i did have a hiatal hernia tho, which had to be repaired. (i had no idea, and Dr. Mumford seemed a little put out about it, oh well) while staying at my sister's house, i took my first shower, and all went well. So my husband helps me lay down, and say he's gonna take a shower. Next thing i know, i hear this gawd awful crash, i mean the whole house shook, and i'm trapped on my back like a damn turtle. my sister comes stampeding up the stairs, and i start screaming my dh's name. of course the bathroom door is locked and he's not answering. so my sis started jimmying the lock, and the thougt of my sis seeing him naked brought dh out of his stupor, and he starts yelling "dont come in im naked" by this time, i have heaved myself out of bed and i go into the bathroom. HE'S LAYING ON THE FLOOR TANGLED IN THE SHOWER CURTAIN WITH HIS HEAD AND SHOULDERS JAMMED IN THE 18 INCHES BTWN THE TOILET AND THE BATHTUB. now obviously im in no condition to get him out, and he'd rather die than let my sis see him naked, so he squeezes himself out of the space like toothpaste and says "I'm alright" yeah sure. So sensing he's gonna get mad if i remain, i make a hasty retreat. you may think this is the end right? wrong that evening he was in pretty bad pain with a bruised shoulder and hip. So (I swear to god i was honestly trying to help) i offered him some of my liquid codeine, which he accepted, a off to sleep we went. Well, all night he tossed and turned and moaned and groaned and generally irritated me, the one that everyones supposed to be fawning over at this particular point in time. Next morning he wakes up and sits on the end of the bed with his back to me. sis comes in and starts reading the instruction sheet from the doc to me, she come to the part "no sex for 2 weeks" and dh says "i'm gonna faint" we laugh, he repeats, "i'm gonna faint" and proceeded to pitch onto the floor in a puddle of cold sweat. I start yelling for my bro in law, and he runs up with a ladle of pancake batter dripping everywhere, and we get dh up on the bed. turns out my bro in law (whose a doc) finds out dh is allergic to codeine. he is now convinced that i sprayed the tub with pam and when that didn't work i used poison on him. motive? he paid for the surgery, so i no longer needed him around. THE END

Hello gang, Leaving for toronto tomorrow morning. So I don't know when I will have access to the 'net for a few days at least. I'm getting kinda nervous now, as i reach the final push. Will let you know how things go when i can!:kiss2: Wish me luck on Thursday at 11:00!:nervous

Hey wheezy! congrats on the thread! I didn't feel confident enough to join the august challenge. But i'm definitely joining the September one! When I get back from surgery I will have decided what my goals will be! oh wait, i won't eat any kiddies during the month of september! hehehehe

I have trouble on the weekends, which is when i have most time to hang around here

Hey Cloe! Can't wait to see pics of your new babies! Baaaa See you on the other side!

Thanks Everyone!!! Yoda, in two days the children will finally be safe!!!hehehe

Hi Everyone, I am going to be banded Aug 31st. Aug 17th I will have to start my two weeks of Optifast. My problem is, ever since I decided to have this done I have become an eating machine, like never before. I can't seem to control myself. :huggie: Did anyone else go through this? Did you manage to buckle under when the time came for the preop diet? ARghhhh

"what's a lil' slime between soulmates?!!!!" i think i'll have that engraved in my wedding ring! it's so beautiful!

lmao, nononono! I have been threatening to eat the kids that come into my library!

I KNEW IT!!!

*burp*i refuse to answer on the grounds it may incriminate me*rubbing distended belly*

From your mouth to god's ear, yoda!
